Abstract

Food protein-induced allergic proctocolitis (FPIAP) is one of the most common phenotypes of food allergy in the first years of life. Several clinical aspects of FPIAP remain largely undefined, with a negative impact on its management. To bridge these gaps, a dedicated joint working group (WG) from the Italian Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition (SIGENP) and the Italian Society for Pediatric Allergy and Immunology (SIAIP) was launched to provide practical evidence-based suggestions for the best diagnostic approach and management of this condition in pediatric age.
